Anecdotes of painting in England : with some account of the principal artists, and incidental notes on other arts
Horace Walpole's history of painters, engravers and gardeners in England, compiled from George Vertue's notebooks and edited by James Dallaway, printed in London in 1826 for collectors and antiquaries. The plates are head-and-shoulders portraits of artists in wood engraving and stipple, mostly full-wigged men in oval or vignetted frames, useful for period faces, hair textures and dense hatched shading.
